Sadly I do not.  This one was posted to my fb wall today and so i had to share it with my friends here.

I am bald. i play guitar.

Tell you what - go out and buy a few nylon strings and then you can sell them to me and Zurf in a few months.

More details

Yeah you really need a finger for doubling the melody in Ripple.

Actually now that I look at my video, I played the roots with my pinkie and ring finger, the melody on my middle and I used the index to hammer on the c major chord as a fill.

My hands turn in to clamps when I get excited. Kills tone, sustain, etc. Notes go sharp.

And I get waaaaaayyyyyyy too much tension in my upper body, which slows me down, tightens up my voice, and is generally uncomfortable.

Regarding your bad habit, try learning all your open position chords without your index finger, if you haven't already. I found that by leading with my pinkie and ring finger instead of index and third finger during chord changes and common tone pivots and such, it made me realize that my little finger is available for scales, solos, etc. Plus its a great stretch!

I like that song Bill. I'm going to add it to my list!

In college my instructor had me use one of these little fellas in order to keep hips aligned and avoid use of a foot rest https://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-Support … r+leg+rest

Today I generally use the right leg but will kick that leg up to get the guitar in a better position. Or I will use a strap while seated. Occasionally I will also use the left leg.

I try and play in a multitude of positions to keep it fresh and not become trapped and uncomfortable in new situations.

Can you post audio of that you're playing?

Funk is gonna be tough without a bassist.  Lots of rootless voicings like
7
5
5

X

Is a minor 7 add 9, but you put the 7 on the bottom and let the bass handle the root. 

If you take that chord and slide it down twice then back up twice, with the right strumming pattern you end up with Love Rollercoaster.

I'll send ya some jazzy stuff tomorrow.

Sounded great man. Re your note on the "Jazziest chords you know,"  let me know if you want some other jazz progressions, happy to suggest a few chords!
